Your pals at Sassafras (48 S. 2nd Street,
Philadelphia) in Old City have the perfect answer to the current heat wave.
Cool down at Philadelphia’s “Grande Dame” of neighborhood bars with unique
Sassafras flavored ice cream, available in one of four beer float combinations,
or as a treat on its own. They also present a new summer sandwich with their
Southern Fried Chicken Po’ Boy. Both items are available immediately through
Labor Day, and are pay-as-you-go. Mascot John Deer recommends the combination
as the perfect summertime pairing!

Sassafras ice cream is house-made in small batches that
feature the delicate flavor of authentic sassafras, with hints of root beer and
liquorice. Just as the Sassafras tree is
the only tree with four unique leaf patterns, those rascals Donal McCoy and
Neil Laughlin have developed four special float pairings for $10 each that
include Crabbies Ginger Beer, Kasteel
Rouge, Rodenbach and Youngs Double
Chocolate Stout. Ice cream will be
available in a three scoop sized dish for $8.

If you thought the temperatures were rising, wait until you
get some heat from the new Southern Fried Chicken Po’ Boy featuring chicken
breast marinated in olive oil, garlic and parsley, fried in a spicy breading,
on an Amoroso hoagie roll with shredded lettuce, tomato, red onion, mayo, and
served with hand cut fries and a pickle spear. The sandwich and hand cut fries
are $10.95.
